just wondering.. what brand of ram is currently good for ocing at budget price? hehe

any ValueRAM should be all right... IMO, it's not a brand, more important is, chipset , anyway... Aeneon, Qimonda did a good job on DDR1 ValueRAM, not sure bout DDR2 (old school fella )

Go for micron chipset ram.

Since this is RAM thread and there are many RAM experts out there, mayb i can get some help here. Wanna get 2 x 1GB DDR2 Kingston Value RAM during PC Fair this week, so as far as i know there are different kind of chipset using by Kingston. Could anyone help me to list the code number for other chipsets besides the one i oledi listed below??

Chipset Code
Micron D9GKX & D9GMH
Hynix FP-Y5 & FP-S5

Thanks a lot.

Hi there, I plan to upgrade the RAM on my notebook. Is there a software that I could use to check to see what's the max RAM my notebook can handle? (It isn't written in the manual)

you can check by using CPUz CPUz

, maximum your notebook can handle? or support? if handle, depends on your OS, Mainboard, normally 2GB of SO-DIMM, either dual-channel or single-channel, doesn't matter...

Which section should I check? =/ I can't find the part stating max memory each bank can handle.

normally, on CPUz's SPD tab, select Memory Slot Selection, you should be able to check over there...

This is what I see,



Hmm... Anyways, recommendation on what brand/model of ram should I get to replace my stock ones? 512x2 or 1024x2. Not sure yet.

if your notebook support 2GB or 4GB of RAM, you can go for it... , but IMO today's computing, 2GB of RAM is a good choice, 1GB is okla choice...
about speed, doesn't matter if you got DDR2 533 or DDR2 667, even though currently, you're on DDR2 400... either you sell of your current SO-DIMM and get new one, or get another one module (same model/type is better)...

Brand is hyundai, wonder where can I find it? Always see kingston/corsair only at the shops nearby my place. Would there be any compatibility issues?

nope, should be no problem when mix with other RAM, as long as compatible with your mobo, it will work , but before you even start to buy it, get your notebook check by retailer and get confirmation bout your RAM, he/she might give you an idea on how-to upgrade memory...

Check your notbook ram pin to ensure the compatibility. Different Brand might have no problem with your notebook if the specification/slot is the same.

hey.. i was wondering whether i could get some help?

i've got a 4 slot mobo that supports dual channel ddr 400.. currently i got 1 512mb double bank, 1 512mb single bank ( both pc3200) and 1 256mb pc2700.

1) is it better if i run da 2 512 on dual channel or add da 256 and run on normal mode?
2)since both da 512 are diff type of banks will da dual channel still work?
3)will running all 3 rams bring down da performance( cos da 256 is lower frequency)?

I would recomend Teamgroup Value RAM PC5300 667MHz. Im using it and current can do DDR2 510MHz on it. Reasonable price..got it for rm220 per 1GB.

harlow everyone. i need help here to identify wat type of RAM is it and wat description it has.it doesn't match any of the ones in the first page of this thread.it was dated back in year 2003 and year 2004.

Both are Kingston Value RAM PC2700

the oldest one(2003) is written on chip:

hynix 319A
HY5DU56822BT-J

the newer one(2004) is written on chip:

Kingston D3208DH1T-6
0339PT05

need help here as i wanna OC my P4 rig.currently both of them passed Orthos at 7 hrs no errors at 233Mhz @2.6Vdimm.i wanna go higher but i dunno wats the limit.pls help me.

Question here:

Assuming that i were NOT to OC any rams in my coming future, would it be the same to get any type of Value Ram?I mean, is there any difference between any of these brands (corsair, kingston, crucial, mushkin, etc) when it comes to stock speed and NO OC at all in there future?And is there a need to add ram cooler into it?

Some noobs question here.
is it ram memory is exactly the same as wad i bought? i mean if i am using 2x512 ram suppose that it is 1024 la. but hor my system property there written 1023? i kena tipu ar?

then my mobo can support up to 8gb does this means tat my processor also can support? how to know wad is the maximum ram memory my system can run?

Is there any extreme DD2 667 ram for notebook?

ask a noob question..CL4 mean wat ? the number behind CL, the bigger the better or the smaller the better?
